About

My name is Raphael, and I'm a software engineer based in Oslo, Norway. I'm the creator of Tangerine, and currently a Staff Software Engineer at Circuit.

Over the years, I've worked on everything from backend systems and embedded hardware to desktop and iOS apps. My current focus is iOS development and building backends using Swift Vapor and Rust. I've helped launch companies from idea stage to products used by customers worldwide.

I've been using Swift in production since the language was first released in 2014, and I've contributed to several open-source projects—especially during the major Swift version transitions. Before that, I was writing Objective-C back when we had to manually release memory.

Tangerine was featured in the "Apps We Love" section of the App Store just three days after launch, and has consistently been highlighted by Apple as App of the Day. It was also showcased during WWDC—appearing on Craig Federighi's iPad during the keynote, and later in the Platform State of the Union under "Widgets We Love".
